Sunapha Yoga Calculator
What is Sunapha Yoga?
Sunapha Yoga is one of the lunar (Chandra) yogas, formed when one or more planets — other than the Sun and the lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu — occupy the 2nd house from the Moon. Because the 2nd is the house of resources and self-effort, planets placed there relative to the Moon give the mind a natural orientation toward building its own security.
The yoga is linked with self-earned wealth, intelligence, a good reputation and self-reliance. Such a person tends to make their own way rather than depend on inheritance or others' backing, earning through their own capability and being recognised for it. There is usually a steady, resourceful quality to the mind that turns knowledge and effort into tangible gain, along with a quiet confidence in being able to provide for oneself.
The particular planet sitting in the 2nd from the Moon colours the result: a benefic there gives refined, ethical earning, while a malefic can bring a harder or more unconventional route to the same self-reliance. The Moon's own strength, the sign involved and the ruling Dasha all shape how strongly the yoga expresses. Read it within the full chart, and enter an exact birth time, since the Moon's position — and therefore the houses counted from it — depends on it.
